About Our
Rescue
Group:

Chris' Rescue Angels is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, incorporated under the laws of the State of Missouri, that was formed in December 2006 by a group of experienced members of the rescue community. We combined our knowledge, skills and friendships to form an organization dedicated to helping small breed dogs in need. We exist to save the throwaways, the strays, the owner turn-ins, the puppy mill survivor, the shelter dogs close to euthanasia - we will speak for those who have no voice. We are committed to rehabilitating, socializing, getting proper medical care, and finding excellent homes for the small dogs we have taken under our wings. The organization that started as a group of friends with a common goal has become a family with a purpose. We rescue, we rehabilitate, we educate, we love what we do and we have our own "Guardian Angel" who helps from afar.

The rescue is named in memory of Chris Heberer, the son of the founder, who was killed by a drunk driver.

Chris’ Rescue Angels Mission Statement:

To help small dogs in need of assistance whether they are strays, breeder turn-ins, owner surrenders, abandoned, abused, or neglected dogs.

To place them in a foster home where their medical needs will be met including spay or neuter.

To socialize, rehabilitate, and adopt the dogs to appropriate forever homes.

To educate the public regarding the responsibilities of pet ownership, the importance of spay/neuter, proper nutrition for dogs, necessary vet care, and teaching young people safe behavior around dogs.

Come Meet our Pets:

Our pets are listed on Petfinders and on our website. We have dogs in several states and at various locations so we do not have locations for you to meet the dogs. We do encourage you to email us with any questions you have in regards to the dogs.

Our Adoption Process:

We are a foster home, all volunteer based rescue. We do not adopt out dogs to anyone under the age of 21. We do require an adoption fee. Our adoption fees are listed on our website. These fees help us to help other dogs and to pay our vet bills. Our first call will be to your veterinarian.

You are adopting one of our dogs, so expect to be asked questions regarding the care of your current and prior pets, to have a home visit prior to approval and expect to have to sign an adoption contract.

Our Adopted Pets:

Dog adoption and cat
adoption saves lives. Adopt
a dog or adopt a cat and
you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog
or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes.
Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they
think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from
a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage
people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA,
humane society or pet rescue group.
